The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Dusk Lost

Ken and Dusk were still walking among the crowd of people. They were unaware of the hateful gaze of someone present nearby. With a wide smile that continued to expand on his lips, Ken and Dusk walked up to Dika and Anna.

"Congratulations, I am so happy for your marriage. Anna is a good woman, she is a great companion to your life" Ken said, embracing Dika.

"Thank you, I'm glad our relationship is getting better" Dika replied as she patted Ken's back gently.

"Anna, congratulations. I'm glad you finally got married to the right guy. May your household, always be given smoothness and ease. May you always be happy" said Ken, greeting Anna.

"Thank you Sir, I'm so glad you were able to attend our event. I'm also sorry, after this I can't help your work. But I won't forget your kindness, Mr. Kenzo is the best boss I've ever met" Anna said with a smile.

"No need to apologize, this is the best option. Leaving work for the sake of the household, is not something wrong, it is a very wise thought. You're amazing" said Ken.

"Thank you, sir."

"Sir Dika, congratulations yes. I'm so happy, finally Brother Dika found the real love. May this marriage, be a beautiful beginning for Sister Dika. Sorry, so far there are many things I did, which did not satisfy Kak Dika. I'm really sorry" said Dika, staring at Dika.

"No need to apologize, now I know, the heart cannot be forced. Everyone has their own destiny, and my destiny is Anna. This makes me very happy" Dika replied with a smile.

"I'm happy too."

"Anna, congratulations. I'm happy for your marriage" said Dusk, embracing Anna tightly.

"Thank you Ma'am, I'm happy to be present on my happy day. Hopefully in the future, we can be friends" Anna said.

"Aren't we friends now?"

"Emm yes, you're right Ma'am" said Anna with a laugh, and Dusk, he also laughed.

"Oh yeah, hasn't Brother Alvin come yet?" asked Dusk while looking at Dika and Anna.

"So far, maybe he's greeting the others." Answer Dika.

"Oh so yeah."

"Let's go find him, Aya!" take Ken.

"Come on!"

"We are looking for Brother Alvin first yes, once again congratulations to you," Ken told Dika and Anna. He deliberately stayed away, because many other guests approached them, to congratulate them.

"Yes, thank you." Answer Dika and Anna simultaneously.

Ken and Dusk step around, looking for Alvin. And soon, they found Alvin talking in a corner of the room.

The twilight eyes sparkled happily, when they looked at Alvin, and Nina, because they did not meet for long enough.

"Sir Alvin, Nina!" screamed as he approached them.

"Hi Nja, how are you? Long time no

meet, how's the honeymoon?" tanya Nina seduces Dusk.

"What the hell is Nin, don't have to wonder, you've never been" said Dusk with a laugh.

"Damn you." Nina's Speech.

"He's how you are, all right?" tanya Dusk while rubbing the stomach of Nina who began to bulge, now the content has reached the age of five months.

"Alhamdulillah Nja, healthy. He's not fussy either, I can't wait for his presence." Answer Nina.

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear it."

"Oh yeah, where's Rashya?" nina asked as she looked at Dusk and Ken, she was between the two, no one was carrying Rashya.

"He's at home with Papa and Mama." Answer Dusk.

"Hmmm basic newlywed, her child what in-laws say," seduced Nina while laughing.

"Many Nin, and we'll be home tonight too, pity if he comes along." Turn quickly.

Nina responded just by laughing out loud.

"Sister Alvin, long time no see" said Dusk while hugging his brother.

"Basar is spoiled, there is your husband tuh, shy," said Alvin while rubbing his twilight hair.

His sister is still unchanged, still spoiled like before. No matter who is married, or even a mother, Dusk is still spoiled for her.

Ken smiled widely, he found it funny to see his wife's childish behavior.

"How are you, brother?" ken asked as Dusk had already let go of his embrace.

"Good God." Answer Alvin.

"Thank God." Ken Sahut.

"How's Jeffry and Aunt Ratih doing, all right?" ask Alvin.

They talked together long enough. After that, Ken went to say hello to his business partner who was in a different corner. Dusk waits at Alvin's, and Nina's.

"You sure you're gonna wait here, Aya?" ask Ken before he steps away.

"Yes, I'm too tired to talk about business, Ken. I'd better stay here, talk to Brother and Nina." Answer Dusk.

"Alright then, later if you want to follow, just go there. I just say hello to them, not anywhere" Ken said, pointing forward.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Dusk.

Then Ken stepped away, leaving Dusk and his two older brothers. He walked towards the corner of the room, to where his business associates were gathered.

After Ken left, Dusk joked with Alvin and Nina.

Fifteen minutes later, Vicky and Gerry came to them.

"Hi Vin, it's been a while?" gerry asked, patting Alvin on the shoulder.

"Lumayan, you guys just arrived?" Alvin asked back.

"Yes, wait for him. The bath is like a virgin, the sewindu has not run," replied Gerry while pointing at Vicky.

"Dibelain bath long alone is still single, look at it now Dika already sold out, Alvin soon be the father, stay us both. Must be more effort, you want, so bujang weathered?" vicky said with a big laugh.

"It is precisely the old bath women even away, do you think the woman is a patient creature? Bayangin yes, the doi ngajak shopping, keep you bathed a century, hemm just ready to listen to his tirade that penetrated seven days and seven nights," said Gerry.

"Instead of the storm continues, mumpung many people, quickly there find one girl who attracts you. After that shoot, apply, get married, run right? Why is it complicated?" sahut Alvin with a slanted smile.

"Hemm belaguas him, now it's become so bini. Forgot if it used to be always dry, every time you called Nina?" gerry Goda.

"Where there is, never!" alvin Sahut.

Dusk laughed and listened to their conversation, but he felt uncomfortable, because he could not speak freely with Nina.

Then Dusk decided to catch up with Ken.

"Sister, I'm going to Ken's!" he said, staring at Alvin.

"Yes, be careful" Alvin replied, and Dusk responded with a nod.

"May I go there first. Brother Vicky, Brother Gerry I go first," said Dusk.

"Yes, hi to Ken" replied Gerry.

"Yes." Yeah."

Then Dusk stepped away, leaving his brother. He walked while looking at Ken who was talking with his partner.

Not yet had Dusk reach Ken's place, suddenly there was a waiter who hit him. A glass of warm drink spilled over her dress.

"Sorry Miss, I'm really sorry, I didn't accidentally Miss, please forgive me," said the waiter regretfully.

Dusk smiled, as he rubbed his wet, slightly sticky dress.

"It's okay, it can be cleaned." Answer Dusk.

"I'm really sorry, yeah."

"That's it, it's okay." Answer Dusk while still smiling.

About half an hour later, Ken walked away from his partner. He went back to Alvin's place, to see his wife. Before arriving there, Ken had taken two drinks. He took it, and will give it to Dusk.

"Where is it, brother?" ken asked after he arrived in front of Alvin.

Alvin seemed to frown, he stared fixedly at Ken.

"Didn't he just catch up with you?" Alvin asked back.

"Following me?"

"Yes, it's been a while, about half an hour ago." Answer Alvin.

"But, but Aya did not meet me at all Kak," said Ken with a heart that began to beat fast. Where's wife?

"Are you serious?" ask Alvin quickly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then where is he?" ask Alvin.

"I'll look for him." Answer Ken firmly.

Ken quickly set foot, looking for his wife.
